    Patent number: 8578609
    Abstract: A manufacturing procedure of a composite material part (11), with an edge region (13) destined to be joined to another part by rivets, making a change in the geometry of said edge region (13) with respect to an initial surface (41) on the part's external face, comprising the following steps: a) providing a laying-up tool incorporating a modified surface (43) according to said change in the edge region (13) geometry; b) providing the composite material plies needed for the laying-up of the part, with the plies (51, 51?, . . . , 51n) destined for the edge region (13) of the part affected by the geometric modification being already cut so that they finish as they reach said modified surface (43); c) laying-up said plies over said tool and curing the resultant laminate. The invention also refers to a lower skin of an aircraft wing (11) manufactured according to said procedure.
